Peer review is where other scientists examine the paper, pull it apart, find flaws, and generally try to keep bad papers from making it through to final publication in a journal. It's far from perfect, but it's a good first step to find mistakes before a paper is published. /2

*Especially* if the conclusions of that paper are super controversial, maybe refrain from sharing it until you've seen some experts weigh in to see if the methods and results make sense first. Misinformation is flying rapidly right now; don't contribute to it! /fin

I really really think BioRxiv needs to do a splashy page informer on these, at least in times of crises and panic. It's kind of verging on irresponsible that they don't.

Yeah, it's great for those in the field to have preprints and I think this is the first crisis where we've had BioRxiv, but when they get uncritically circulated by non-experts...potentially bad information is flying.

But preprints and their accompanying public reviews are a critical part of establishing a transparent publishing process.

Agree--& I'm not knocking. As I said, I've used BioRxiv. But I think your average person probably doesn't get difference or understand that citations from there are just the start of publishing. & when public interest is amplified like now with
#nCoV2019, that creates problems. - Još 3 druga odgovora

Yeah, and be skeptical about peer-reviewed stuff too! With everything happening so fast, people are going to make mistakes, or just interpret incomplete data in different ways. See also: that snake virus paper.

...which was peer reviewed.
